 London Transport Portal | The Victoria Line is a line of the London Underground, coloured light blue on the Tube map. It is a deep-level line running from the south-west to the north-east of London. Construction began in 1962 and continued until 1970. A test tunnel from Tottenham to Manor House under Seven Sisters Road had been constructed from 1959 onwards and this was later integrated into the running tunnels. Year 1968 (MCMLXVIII) was a leap year starting on Monday (link will display full calendar) of the 1968 Gregorian calendar. ...

The name "Victoria Line" dates back to 1955, other suggestions were "Walvic Line" (Walthamstow - Victoria) and "Viking Line" (Victoria - King's Cross).

The Victoria Line was designed to relieve congestion on other lines, in particular the Piccadilly Line, as well as to maximise possible interchanges. It had been intended to build the line past Walthamstow Central to Wood Street (Walthamstow), where it would surface to terminate next to the British Railways station. However, a last minute decision in 1961, shortly before construction work began, saw the line cut back to Walthamstow (Hoe Street) station which was re-named Walthamstow Central in 1968.

Each Victoria Line station apart from Pimlico was built as an interchange station and several existing stations were rearranged to allow for cross-platform interchange with it. In some cases this was achieved by placing the Victoria Line platforms on either side of the existing station, while in others the Victoria Line uses one of the older platforms and the existing line was diverted into a new platform.

Walthamstow Central is a station on the Victoria Line and the one service from Chingford to Liverpool Street. ...
When the Victoria Line was constructed, severe budget restrictions were imposed and as a result the station infrastructure standards were lower than on older lines and on later extension projects. Examples of these lower standards include narrower than usual platforms and undecorated ceilings at Walthamstow Central, Blackhorse Road and Tottenham Hale, adversely affecting lighting levels. At most stations between the up and down escalators there is a concrete staircase where an additional escalator should have been provided, causing severe congestion at peak times and causing weeks-long station closures for safety reasons when both escalators have been unserviceable. Over many years, heavy equipment has been installed in unsightly fenced-off sections at the ends of platforms owing to the lack of anywhere else to install them. It is not clear from Transport for London's Five-Year Investment Programme whether these shortcomings are likely to be remedied. Walthamstow Central is a station on the Victoria Line and the one service from Chingford to Liverpool Street. ...

Trains The Victoria Line is served by a fleet of 43 1967 Tube Stock trains. Each train is made up of two four-car units. The line is equipped with an automatic train operation system (ATO); the train operator (driver) closes the train doors and presses a pair of "start" buttons, and if the way ahead is clear, the ATO will drive the train at a safe speed to the next station and stop there. This system has been in place since the line opened in 1968. The Victoria Line was the world's first automatic railway. The London Underground 1967 Stock currently runs on the Victoria Line. ...

The replacement for the line's 1967 Tube Stock will be the 2009 Tube Stock built by Bombardier Transportation. The first prototypes were built in 2006 and be tested in service from 2008, with the main fleet entering service between 2009 and 2012. The signalling will also be replaced with a more modern ATO system from Westinghouse Rail Systems during the Victoria Line upgrade.
